Jason "Mayhem" Miller's "Bully Beatdown" debuts tonight on MTV

In the show, which airs at 9:30 p.m. EST/PST, Miller confronts real-world bullies and challenges them to fights with actual MMA fighters, such as Jake Shields and Thomas Denny.

The show is executive produced by reality kingpin Mark Burnett and hosted by Miller.

In each episode, victims reach out to Miller for help. After learning the back story of the bullying, Miller ambushes the bully and challenges him on the spot to an upcoming bout. Each bully is then assigned a real-world MMA fighter as an opponent.

Each “fight” features two three-minutes rounds. The first round involves grappling, and each bully begins with $5,000. However, he loses $1,000 each time he taps out. If he can submit the pro fighter, though, the bully earns an additional $5,000.

In the second round, which is reserved for kickboxing, the fighter earns $5,000 is he survives the round before a knockout, TKO or referee’s stoppage. If he knocks out the pro, the fighter gets an additional $5,000.

Replays of the debut “Bully Beatdown” episode are scheduled for tonight at 11 p.m. EST/PST, Monday at 2 p.m. EST/PST and Tuesday at 3 a.m. and noon EST/PST.

After announcing his retirement in 2008, Miller (21-6) returns to competition next month to fight Kala Hose in the debut KINGDOM MMA event in Hawaii. Miller hasn’t competed since a June unanimous-decision loss to Ronaldo Souza at DREAM.4. He’s 4-1 in his past five fights.
